Experience has nothing to do with it. It's just instinct. Once a ball is snapped, what down it is may not even register on a DB. It's the most challenging position in football to play. Interceptions happen almost automatically--instinct takes over. And to the extent that any thought goes into it, 99 out of 100 DBs would think that they don't keep stats on knocked down passes, but Ints get you to the Pro Bowl and the HOF.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
